To Please a Lady (The Seduction Series)
“Anne’s was exactly as Eleanor had imagined… a dark, dreary edifice worthy of a gothic novel. Just looking up at the façade sent a shiver of apprehension down her spine. What a horrible, wretched place to live. Yet Miss McKinnon was here… Eleanor knew for sure, without a doubt, that James’s sister was here.

“My lady?” Franklin stood by waiting impatiently, as if he had more important things to do this dreary day. Another servant in a long line who found it amusing to mistreat her, knowing she could never fire them without her husband’s approval.
Her hands trembled with pent-up anger. She’d been belittled for years. No more.
Eleanor glared coldly at the man. “If I wish to sit here and ponder life’s meaning for hours on end, I will without comment from you, is that clear?”
His jaw clenched, his gaze flashing with humiliation and ire. “Yes, my lady.”
Eleanor resisted the urge to grin, feeling oddly free for the first time in years. She would make sure James’s sister... was well taken care of; she could do that much for interfering.MoreLess
